CVE-2022-30525: Zyxel security advisory for OS command injection vulnerability of firewalls

The cyber attacks targeting the energy sector in Denmark last year may not have had the involvement of the Russia-linked Sandworm hacking group, new findings from Forescout show. The intrusions, which targeted around 22 Danish energy organizations in May 2023, occurred in two distinct waves, one which exploited a security flaw in Zyxel firewall (CVE-2023-28771) and a

Categories: Exploits and vulnerabilities Categories: News Zyxel has released a security advisory about two critical vulnerabilities that could allow an unauthorized, remote attacker to take control of its firewall devices. (Read more...) The post Zyxel patches two critical vulnerabilities appeared first on Malwarebytes Labs.

By Deeba Ahmed Most devices infected by Chaos malware are located in Europe, particularly Italy but infections were also observed in Asia Pacific, South America, and North America. This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: New DDoS Malware ‘Chaos’ Hits Linux and Windows Devices

The previously identified ransomware builder has veered in an entirely new direction, targeting consumers and business of all sizes by exploiting known CVEs through brute-forced and/or stolen SSH keys.

A new, multi-functional Go-based malware dubbed Chaos has been rapidly growing in volume in recent months to ensnare a wide range of Windows, Linux, small office/home office (SOHO) routers, and enterprise servers into its botnet. "Chaos functionality includes the ability to enumerate the host environment, run remote shell commands, load additional modules, automatically propagate through

This Metasploit module exploits CVE-2022-30526, a local privilege escalation vulnerability that allows a low privileged user (e.g. nobody) escalate to root. The issue stems from a suid binary that allows all users to copy files as root. This module overwrites the firewall's crontab to execute an attacker provided script, resulting in code execution as root. In order to use this module, the attacker must first establish shell access. For example, by exploiting CVE-2022-30525. Known affected Zyxel models include USG FLEX (50, 50W, 100W, 200, 500, 700), ATP (100, 200, 500, 700, 800), VPN (50, 100, 300, 1000), USG20-VPN and USG20W-VPN.

Severity of code execution bug mitigated by ‘high uptake’ of previous patch

Zyxel USG FLEX version 5.21 suffers from a command injection vulnerability.

Zyxel has released patches to address four security flaws affecting its firewall, AP Controller, and AP products to execute arbitrary operating system commands and steal select information. The list of security vulnerabilities is as follows - CVE-2022-0734 - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in some firewall versions that could be exploited to access information stored in the user's

Image source: z3r00t The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency on Monday added two security flaws, including the recently disclosed remote code execution bug affecting Zyxel firewalls, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation. Tracked as CVE-2022-30525, the vulnerability is rated 9.8 for severity and relates to a command injection flaw

Just one day after disclosure, cyberattackers are actively going after the command-injection/code-execution vulnerability in Zyxel's gear.

This Metasploit module exploits CVE-2022-30525, an unauthenticated remote command injection vulnerability affecting Zyxel firewalls with zero touch provisioning (ZTP) support. By sending a malicious setWanPortSt command containing an mtu field with a crafted OS command to the /ztp/cgi-bin/handler page, an attacker can gain remote command execution as the nobody user. Affected Zyxel models are USG FLEX 50, 50W, 100W, 200, 500, 700 using firmware 5.21 and below, USG20-VPN and USG20W-VPN using firmware 5.21 and below, and ATP 100, 200, 500, 700, 800 using firmware 5.21 and below.

Zyxel has moved to address a critical security vulnerability affecting Zyxel firewall devices that enables unauthenticated and remote attackers to gain arbitrary code execution. "A command injection vulnerability in the CGI program of some firewall versions could allow an attacker to modify specific files and then execute some OS commands on a vulnerable device," the company said in an advisory
